The carmakers said they will begin technical development of electric versions of the Peugeot Partner combi-van and the Citroen Berlingo, with the aim of beginning production by the end of 2012.

Earlier this year the companies scrapped an ambitious capital tie-up that would have created the world's sixth-largest auto alliance, amid reports of financial discord. But they agreed to cooperate to share resources and cut costs in a bid to close down on rivals.

Mitsubishi announced a partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroen in April that will see the launch of a compact SUV in Europe in early 2012, based on the existing Mitsubishi RVR in Japan and its European counterpart, the ASX.
